Foreign Agricultural Service

Importing U.S. Products

Our office has many resources that can connect importers of U.S. products with American producers, traders, and exporters.

Buyer Alert

The Buyer Alert, issued every 2 to 4 weeks and sent by e-mail to foreign traders, lists specific products offered by U.S. exporters. To receive a copy, contact us or click on the header for more information.

Trade Leads Service

The Trade Leads Service is a free service designed for foreign buyers looking for U.S. products. Overseas offices of USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service send detailed product inquiries to Washington, D.C. or to U.S. producer associations for wide distribution among U.S. exporters. A trade lead worksheet can be obtained from us by fax or mail, or by clicking the header.

U.S. Supplier Lists

We can, upon request, provide importers with the addresses of U.S. suppliers of specific U.S. agricultural products.

American Foods in Europe Online

To source these U.S. products, we can provide the American Foods in Europe Online, a guide to European importers of U.S. food and beverage products. It is designed as a resource for the retail trade, restaurants, institutional caterers, and food processors in locating local European suppliers of U.S. food and beverage products.
